GEOGRAPHY AND TOPOGRAPHY. 

Cuba, the largest and most populous of the West Indian Islands, 
lies directl}' south of Florida. Habana, the capital, is a little west of 
south of Ke}" West, and is distant, in a straight line, about 100 miles, 
being separated from it b}^ the Strait of Florida. Cuba lies between 
the meridians of 74"^ and 85° west of Greenwich and between the 
parallels of latitude 19° 40' and 23° 33'. Its extreme length, from 
Cape Maisi on the east to Cape San Antonio on the west, is 730 miles. 
Its breadth differs greatl}" in different parts, ranging from 100 miles in 
the east to 25 miles in the neighborhood of Habana. Its area, includ- 
ing Isla de Pinos and the bordering ke3"s, may be accepted as approxi- 
mately 44,000 square miles. 

The north coast is mainl}- steep and rocky and in the middle portion 
of the island is bordered by lines of islands and coral reefs, the pas- 
sages through which are extremely intricate. These islands are low, 
mainly covered with mangrove thickets, and contain few inhal)itants. 
In the western part of Cuba the coast bluffs are low, being only about 
100 feet in height, but they gradually rise eastward until in the neigh- 
borhood of Matanzas thev are fully 500 feet above the sea. Farther 
east, in Santa Clara and Puerto Principe, they are lower, while toward 
the eastern end of the island, in Santiago Province, the coast is rugged 
and almost mountainous, rising from the sea in a succession of terraces. 

From Cape Maisi westward the south coast is bordered b}- moun- 
tains. That portion of it extending from Santiago to Cape Cruz is 
bordered by Sierra Maestra, which rises abruptl}- from the water to 
an altitude of several thousand feet. From Cape Cruz the coast trends 
northward ai'ound the Ba}^ of Buena Esperanza, into which opens the 
broad and fertile valley of Kio Cauto, the largest stream of the island. 
The shores of this bay and most of the coast thence westward to Cape 
Antonio, the west point of Cuba, are low and marshy. This coast 
consists in the main of a narrow strip, but west of Cienfuegos it 
extends far inland, forming the great Zapata Swamp, an almost 

9

impenetrable region 75 miles in length in an east-and-west direction 
by 30 miles in breadth. Off the south coast are many low, marshy, 
mangrove-covered islets. Most of the harbors of both the north and 
south coasts are of peculiar shape, with narrow, crooked entrances, 
opening within into basins of considerable extent, which are thus com- 
pletely sheltered. This is the character of the harbors of Habana, 
Santiago, Cienfuegos, Guantanamo, and many others. 

The relief of the island is complicated, being composed of several 
disconnected features which apparently bear little relation to one 
another. The middle portion of the island, including the provinces 
of Habana, Matanzas, Santa Clara, and Puerto Principe, presents little 
relief, consisting in the main of broad, undulating plains and shallow 
valleys. It is only at the two ends of the island, namelj'^, in Pinar del 
Rio in the west and Santiago in the east, that the country presents any 
decided features. Throughout Pinar del Rio Province runs a range 
of hills parallel to the coasts, a little north of the middle of the island, 
known as the Organ Mountains (Sierra de los Organos). These rise in 
many places to altitudes exceeding 2,000 feet, and culminate in the 
summit known as Guaguibon, which has an altitude of about 2,500 
feet. From the crest of this range, which forms a watershed, the land 
descends gently northward and southward to the coast. The south- 
ward slopes form the celebrated tobacco land known as Vuelta Abajo. 

The Organ Mountains cease as a range a little west of the city of 
Habana, but traces of this uplift can be followed eastward, through 
Matanzas and Santa Clara provinces, in lines of low hills rising from 
the extended plains. Such hills are the Tetas Managua, near Habana, 
and the Pan del Matanzas, just south of the city of the same name. 

In Santiago Province, at the eastern end of the island, the country 
breaks up in bold relief. Along the south coast is the Sierra Maestra, 
separating the coast from the valley of the Rio Cauto, reaching altitudes 
exceeding 5,000 feet, and in one peak, Tu'rquino, a height of 8,320 feet. 
This range extends unbroken from Cape Cruz eastward to Santiago, 
and thence in a more broken, plateau-like form, to the east end of the 
island. The interior of Santiago Province north of the valley of the 
Cauto consists in the main of a greatly dissected plateau, rising to 
altitudes of 1,000 to 2,000 feet. 

Isla de Pinos lies to the south of the main island. The northern 
part of this island is slightly broken in surface, while the southern 
part, which is nearly disconnected from it by a strip of swamp, is low 
and level. 

The rivers of Cuba are numerous, but short, and few of them are 
of any importance to navigation. The largest stream is the Rio Cauto, 
in Santiago Province, which drains a broad and very fertile valley. 
This river, which has a total length of 150 miles, is navigable for small 
vessels as far as Cauto Embarcadero, about 50 miles above its mouth.

GANNETT.] GAZETTEER OF CUBA. 11 

The next river in point of importance i.s tlie Sagua la Grande, on the 
north slope of the ishind, in Santa Chira Province, which is navigable 
for about 20 miles. Of the many other streams of the island few are 
navigable at all, while others are naviga))le only within their estua- 
ries. The interior of the island is dependent upon its few railroads, 
of which there are only 1,100 miles, and its poor wagon roads. 

MINERAIi RESOURCES. 

The mineral resources of the island, so far as developed, are limited, 
and consist almost entirely of iron ore. Iron has been mined for many 
years at the south base of the Sierra Maestra, a few miles east of 
Santiago. The ores are hematite, with a little limonite, apd are found 
principally as float ore in the bowlders. It is not certain that any ore 
has been found in place. The ore is of excellent quality, containing 
about 62 per cent of iron, and is easy to work. The developments are in 
the hands of three companies, and nearly all of the ore produced has 
been shipped to the United States, principally to Baltimore. Copper 
deposits, said to have been of enormous richness, were worked for 
many years under the Spanish regime, in the neighborhood of Cobre, 
but in recent years operations have ceased, and the mines are at 
present filled with water. Asphaltum has been found in several places, 
particularly near the city of Santa Clara, where it has been utilized in 
making illuminating gas. 

A little gold and silver has been mined in past times, but for many 
years the island has not produced any of these metals. 

ClilMATE. 

The climate of Cuba is comparatively simple and can be briefly 
described. With the long narrow shape of the island and its great 
extent of coast line, it has, in high degree, an insular climate, with a 
high mean temperature, great humidity, and ample rainfall. Lying 
within the tropics, the island is subjected to the northeast trades, which 
blow over it steadily and constantly. They bring to the north coast 
and the northern slopes of the island an ample rainfall, while the 
southern slopes, especially at the eastern end, protected by the moun- 
tains from the trade winds, receive a much less amount of rainfall, 
although sufficient for the cultivation of most crops. At Habana, on 
the north coast, the mean annual temperature is 77°, and the range of 
temperature between the mean of the hottest month and that of the 
coldest month is from 82'^ to 71°. The highest temperature on record 
in Habana is 100.6°; the lowest, 49.6°. The maximum temperature 
is not as high as in many northern cities of the United States, but the 
duration of high temperature in Cu})a is much greater. But notwith- 
standing the long-continued high temperature, the northern slopes of 



12 GAZETTEEE OF CUBA. [bui.u192. 

the island are cooled by the constant trade winds, and the nights, even 
in summer, are cool. The figures given above for Habana represent 
the conditions of the island fairly well, excepting that on the south 
coast and in the interior the temperature is a little higher. The mean 
annual rainfall at Habana, derived from observations of many years' 
duration, is 62 inches, and this figure represents quite closely the rain- 
fall throughout the north coast of the island. The rainfall is decidedly 
less than upon the Gulf coast of the United States, and is but little 
greater than that of the northern seaboard cities. About two-thirds 
of this rainfall descends between May and October, the remainder of 
the 3^ear being comparatively dry. 

CIVIL BIVISIOI^S. 

For administrative purposes Cuba is divided into six provinces, 
which, named from the west eastward, are Pinar del Rio, Habana, 
Matanzas, Santa Clara, Puerto Principe, and Santiago. These prov- 
inces are divided into municipal districts, or iermmos municvpales^ of 
which there are 132 in the island, including the Isla de Pinos, which 
forms a municipal district of Habana Province. The number of 
municipal districts in each province is given below. 

Number of municipal districts in each province. 

Habana Province 36 

Pinar del Kio 20 

Matanzas 24 

Santa Clara 28 

Puerto Princi])e 5 

Santiago 19 

The municipal districts are in turn divided into barrios, of which 
there are approximately 1,500 in the island, including those constitut- 
ing the cities. Such organizations as cities, in the sense in which we 
understand the term, do not exist in Cuba. The city of Habana has 
no legal limits, but comprises most of the municipal district of that 
name. This includes not only a large urban population, but also a 
small number of rural inhabitants. By the recent census the popula- 
tion of the cities of the island was obtained by selecting from among 
the barrios composing the municipal districts those whose population 
was urban in character. 

HISTORY. 

Cuba was discovered by Columbus on October 28, 1492, the landing 
being at or near the present city of Nuevitas, on the north coast of 
the province of Puerto Principe. He explored this coast from the 
Laguna de Moron eastward to Cape Maisi, at the eastern end of the 
island. On this voyage and in other subsequent visits to the island, 
he explored most of the remaining parts of the coast.

For several years little attention was paid to the island, and it was 
not until 1512 that colonization was attempted. That year Velasquez, 
with a force of 300 men, founded the town of Baracoa, near the eastern 
end of the island, and two years later Trinidad and Santiago, together 
with a number of other towns in the interior. In 151i> Habana was 
founded, and in 1552 it became the capital. The growth of European 
population in Cuba was particularly slow during the first 250 years, 
and in 1775 the population numbered only 171,020. The occupation 
of Cuba by the Spaniards was continuous from the date of its coloni- 
zation to 1898, with the exception of the English invasion of 1762, 
during which Habana and a part of Matanzas Province were taken 
possession of b}^ the English and held for a few months. On Decem- 
ber 10, 1898, the sovereignty of Spain in Cuba was relinquished by 
treaty to the United States, after a war which, though brief, was 
exceedingly disastrous to Spanish power and prestige. 

While thus measurably free from foreign invasion for centuries, the 
island was on several occasions the scene of domestic disturbances, due 
in nearly all cases to Spanish misrule. Such were the insurrections 
of 1717, 1812, 1826, and at several later dates, but none of these were 
of serious importance. In 1868, however, an insurrection broke out, 
and continued, with desultory fighting in various parts of the island, 
for ten years. The recent insurrection was the most general and 
serious of these domestic disturbances. It broke out in 1896, and was 
ended in 1898 by the intervention of the United States. It is unneces- 
sary to speak of this at length, since the events of that struggle are 
recent and well known. 

The aboriginal inhabitants of Cuba have been variously estimated at 
from 200,000 to 1,000,000. In all probability the former figures are 
nearer the truth. Upon the settlement of the island by the Europeans 
these natives were promptly enslaved and put to work on the plantations 
and in the mines, where they soon succumbed to hard work, and within 
fifty years of the date of the first colonization, or long before the end 
of the sixteenth century, the aboriginal population of Cuba had been 
wiped off the face of the earth, and at present no trace of Indian 
blood is to be found in the island. Upon the destruction of the Indian 
element its place was taken by African slaves, and for centuries the 
African slave trade was a most profitable one, ceasing only with the 
abolition of slavery in 1883. 

POPULATION. 

The population of Cuba, according to the census taken under the 
direction of the United States War Department in 1899, was 1,572,797. 
Twelve years earlier, in 1887, according to a census taken under 
Spanish authority, the luunber was reported as 1,631,687, or nearly 
59,000 greater. After allowing for the probable increase of the popu-

lation botwocn 1S87 and 1895, the date on which the insurrection broke 
out, the loss of life, as indicated by these two censuses, may be esti- 
mated at nearly 200,000, a loss which may be attributed to the war 
and to the accompanying reconcentration. 

The first census of Cuba upon which any reliance can be placed was 
taken in 1775. The following table shows the population at the date 
of each subsequent census and the decennial rate of increase:

The loss in population incident to the insurrection was sustained 
entirely by the three western provinces, the three eastern provinces 
having gained during the period between 1887 and 1899, although 
Santa Clara, one of the largest provinces of the island, gained but a 
trifling amount. 

The density of population, taking the island as a whole, was 35.7 
inhabitants to the square mile. The area, population, and density of 
population of the six provinces are given in the table below:

The urban population of Cuba, including in that term the inhabi- 
tants of all cities of more than 8,000 population, was 32.3 per cent of 
the entire population, or a little less than one-third, being but a trifle 
smaller than that of the United States. Including, however, all cities 
down to 1,000 each, the proportion of urban population rises to 47.1 
per cent, that of the United States being the same. The capital and 
chief city of the island is Habana, situated on the north coast near its 
western end, with a population of 235,981. Other important cities are 
Santiago, the capital of Santiago Province, on the south coast near the 
eastern end of the island, population 43,090; Matanzas, the capital of 
Matanzas Province, on the north coast, population 36,374; Cienf uegos,

in Santa Clara Province, on the south coast, popuhition 30,038; Puerto 
Principe, the capital of the province of the same name, situated in the 
interior, population 25,102; Cardenas, on the north coast, in Matanzas 
Province, population 21,940. Most of the larger cities are situated 
upon the seacoast rather than in the interior, indicating their commer- 
cial character. 

The center of population of Cuba in 1899 was situated in latitude 22° 
15' and longitude 80° 23'. This locates it in Santa Clara Province, 30 
miles southwest of the city of Santa Clara, and 8 miles northeast of 
Cienf uegos. It is at a distance of 76 miles northwest of the geographic 
center of the island. 

As to sex, the population was distributed in the proportions of 51.8 
per cent males and 48.2 per cent females, the excess in the number of 
males being probably due to immigration. 

As to race, there were 68 per cent white and 32 per cent colored. 
The colored formed less than one-third of the population, and their 
proportion has for man^'^ 5'^ears been diminishing. The foreign-born 
formed 9 per cent of the total population, which leaves 60 per cent as 
native whites. Three-fourths of all the foreign-born in Cuba came 
from Spain. Of the remainder, the countries which most freely con- 
tributed were China, Africa, and the United States. Other West Indian 
islands, and even the neighboring countries of Central and South Amer- 
ica, contributed very few, showing the extremelj?^ sedentary character 
of these peoples. 

The foreign-born element was found mainly in the cities, and especi- 
ally in the larger ones. Nearly one-third of the entire foreign-born 
element was found in the cit}^ of Habana, where it constituted 22 per 
cent of the entire population of the city. 

The proportion of married, even when we add to the number of those 
legally married those who have assumed marital relations without the 
sanction of law, is very small, being only 24 per cent of the population, 
as contrasted with the proportion in the United States, 35.7 per cent. 
Of this proportion thus living together, either with or without the 
sanction of law, about two-thirds were legally married and one-third 
were living together without marriage. The legallj'^ married consti- 
tuted only about one-half the proportion that the}^ do in the United 
States. 

Of the total population of Cuba, 34 per cent, or a little more than 
one-third, were able to read. For obvious reasons, illiteracy was 
greater among the colored than among the white, and greater in rural 
districts than in cities. 

The proportion of Cubans reported as being employed in gainful 
occupations was 40 per cent, or two-tifths of the total population, a 
proportion larger than in either the United States or Porto Rico. Of 
the males, 68 per cent were reported as wage-earners; of the females 
only 9 per cent. 



16 GAZETTEER OF CUBA. [bull. 192. 

The wage-earners were distributed in the following proportions 
among the great groups of occupations:

AGKICULTURB. 

There were, in 1899, 60,711 farms, with a total area of 262,858 
caballerias, a caballeria being equal to 33 acres. The average size of 
a farm in Cuba was 143 acres, and the average area cultivated per 
farm 13 acres. Of the entire area of Cuba 30 per cent was reported 
to be in farms, but only 3 per cent of the area of the island, and only 
10 per cent of the area in farms, was under cultivation. The most 
highly cultivated parts of the island were in Matan^as and Habana 
provinces. In Puerto Principe cultivation is comparatively slight, 
most of the farms consisting of mere cattle ranches. 

Of the cultivated area of Cuba, less than one-half was owned by its 
occupants, and a little more than one-half was rented. Of this culti- 
vated area 85 per cent was occupied b}'^ whites, either as owners or 
renters, and only 11 per cent by colored, the remainder being 
unknown. 

The only measure of farm products obtained by the census was in 
terms of areas cultivated in the several crops. Measured thus by 
areas under cultivation, sugar cane is far the most important crop of 
the island, occupying 47 per cent, or nearly one-half the cultivated 
area. Sweet potatoes are second on the list, with 11 per cent; tobacco 
9 per cent. Bananas occupy little less than 9 per cent, and other 
crops occupy still smaller proportions. Sugar cane was produced in 
all the provinces of the island, but had the greatest importance in the 
provinces of Santa Clara and Matanzas, which together produced 
nearly three-fourths of the crop, as measured by the area under culti- 
vation. Santiago produced about one-sixth of the crop and Habana 
about one-sixteenth, the proportions produced in the other provinces 
being trifling. 

Tobacco was produced in all the provinces, but three-fourths of the 
entire production, as measured by the area under cultivation, came 
from the province of Pinar del Rio, and nearly all the remainder from 
Habana and Santa Clara. 

Coffee, which was once a product of great importance in Cuba, has 
diminished in recent years, and now but little is produced, that little 
coming from the provinces of Santiago and Santa Clara. 

There were in Cuba, in 1899, 207 sugar mills, or centrals, with a 
daily production of 61,407 bags of sugar. There were also 86 stills, 
with a daily capacity of 161,751 gallons.
